Price differences depend on cut, clarity, color, shape, fluorescence, and certification. Two diamonds with the same carat can vary greatly.

Fluorescence refers to how a diamond reacts under UV light. It can affect both appearance and price, strong fluorescence may make diamonds look hazy and reduce their value. Compared to diamonds with no fluorescence, those with faint, medium, strong, and very strong fluorescence are typically about 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% cheaper, respectively.

The round brilliant cut is the most popular, followed by cushion, oval, heart and pear shapes.
